摘要： A coin discriminating apparatus includes a plurality of light emitting elements for projecting light onto a coin, a light receiver for optically detecting light reflected by the coin, and a scattering member, disposed on an opposite side of the coin from a light receiver, for scattering light emitted from the plurality of light emitting elements. The light receiver receives light reflected by the coin and light scattered by the scattering member and produces pattern data. The coin discriminating apparatus further includes a coin discriminator for detecting a diameter of the coin based on the pattern data produced by the light receiver, tentatively determining a denomination of the coin, and comparing the pattern data of the coin produced by the light receiver with reference pattern data of a coin of the tentatively determined denomination. It is therefore possible to discriminate coins with high accuracy by optically detecting the pattern of obverse or reverse surfaces of the coins, even if dust and the like adhere to the side surfaces of the coins.

摘要： A number of bank notes are inserted into the bank note entrance unit of a bank note depositing apparatus and are continuously received so that they may be inspected and counted at a high speed. After the counting operation, the bank notes are stored in a temporary storage unit and subsequently in such one of the plural storage portions of a movable safe as is positioned to receive the bank notes from the temporary storage unit. Another standby vacant storage portion of the movable safe is then automatically brought to the same position to receive the bank notes when a predetermined number of the bank notes are stored in the first storage portion.
